We presented a case of neonatal hypopharyngeal perforation resulting from extraction of a breech presentation, with symptoms of regurgitation at all feedings and excessive salivation. Inability to pass a nasogastric tube suggested the diagnosis of esophageal atresia. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition is discussed, and the literature is reviewed.

This case report details the clinical presentation and surgical management of a neonate with idiopathic perforation of the biliary tract. A three-day-old baby girl presented with a right-upper-quadrant mass and signs of peritonitis following a prolonged, difficult vaginal delivery. At surgery, she was found to have a perforation at the junction of the cystic and common bile duct. Simple drainage of the right upper quadrant was performed, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Early presentation and the nature of delivery suggests the possibility of birth trauma as an etiological factor in this condition.
